'We will have good crowds thanks to Rohit Sharma and Virat kohli' - Mitchell Santner lauds India's iconic duo ahead of 1st ODI

New Zealand skipper Mitchell Santner expects strong attendance figures during the upcoming five-match ODI series against India, largely driven by veteran stars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Auckland is set to host the opening fixture on November 4, following a T20I series where India triumphed three matches to two after securing the first three contests before the hosts bounced back.

Santner also highlighted top-order batter Shubman Gill as a major threat while outlining a disciplined bowling strategy to exploit local pitch conditions against the touring squad.
